What Teachers Say about Spainwise

“The chance to meet dozens of potential employers face-to-face and size them up while they did the same to me seemed too good to pass up. A month later, as I mulled three job offers, each in a different province of Spain and each from someone I was sure I would enjoy working with, I knew I´d made the right decisión.

“At the jobs fair, I had a total of seven interviews with schools all over Spain and felt thoroughly satisfied that I had made the most of the fair and achieved what I had hoped to. In the weeks following, there were some schools that I had heard from straight away via email and others that took longer. I was lucky enough to have a number of offers to choose from.”

- Rona Mackenzie"ESL teaching can be for anyone, at any age, as long as your attitude is right,"

- Brendan CostelloBrendan Costello got into teaching after finishing his M.A. in European Studies.

““We took a free bus from Seville to the fair and I suddenly realized upon entering that I had found something that was going to offer options, ideas and most importantly for me at the time, opportunities. I attended workshops and managed to cover more ground and make more headway in a few hours than I had in a couple of weeks dragging myself around the city””

- Terry Lodge Terry Lodge has been teaching English in Seville since 2009.

- Annie McDougallAnnie McDougall discovered at Spainwise 2012 that her lack of experience wasn’t an obstacle for a career in Spain.
